Right now hes too overpaid to make a move unless you got something else outlandishly expensive lined up. I think were a few seasons away from that though.
Btw: how about Yogi? Smallish guard, defends well, good shooter, can playmake a bit but doesnt need the ball much.
Would make sense Imo as a cheap guard-addition.
Good point... How about a max free agent signing next summer and a sign and trade of THJ and ? for Harris. (Powell if he's still available).
If THJ repeats his year here, I'd have to think Philly is excited to do that deal to get Harris off their books.
His contract is a lot more stomach able when our team is built.

My plan is not to make my team or situation WORSE, for any reason. That's the only plan I need to talk myself out of a deal for Tobias Harris's contract. It has nothing to do with Giannis. I would literally PREFER bringing the same team back. I do NOT think the team gets better, even incrementally, by trading for Harris.
To this point.... Every time Harris has gotten traded his old team has performed better.
Now I like his game and I think theres a decent chance if he lands here it might be the perfect system for him with the right coach.
I'm not gambling on that fact tho right now when there are so many holes in the team.

That move is the spitting image of the Juwon Howard deal. It would represent the idea that Cuban/Donnie had learned absolutely NOTHING the last time around, and that we are doomed to live in a mediocrity loop forever, regardless of the player around whom they're building.
The Juwon Howard deal was a bad one? Without looking at Wikipedia, my memory is that Juwon begat Van Exel and Raef, Van Exel and Raef begat Jamison and Walker, Walker and Jamison begat Terry, Stackhouse, and Harris, Harris begat Kidd, Stackhouse begat Marion, and meanwhile Dampier begat Tyson, and that all that begat a championship.
I miss Mark's spending ways and hope they're back. But not for Horford or Harris unless we get a mountain of assets back.
IIRC you can trace it all the way back to Christian Laettner trade.
